A vintage horror movie poster in bold expressionist illustration, with two giant stylized faces confronting each other across a black background. On the left side of the frame, an adult woman's face in profile turns right, her skin glowing yellow-orange, her towering hair a mass of black and orange waves streaked with a white zigzag strand like a lightning bolt. Her dark eyebrows, long lashes, and small red mouth are painted in stark graphic lines. On the right side, an adult man's face in three-quarter view turns toward her, his skin a sickly yellow-green, his forehead tall and scarred, one orange-red eye staring outward. A small brass bolt protrudes from the side of his neck below his ear. Between the two faces, in the upper center, a jagged white lightning bolt strikes downward, splitting the black space. The faces are cropped hard at the frame edges, their scale enormous and confrontational. The upper-left corner is solid black behind the woman's hair. The upper-right corner is solid black behind the man's head. Across the lower third, a title is stacked in three lines in chunky hand-drawn block letters, rendered as a "TITLE" placeholder with a lemon-yellow to sky-blue gradient and thin white outlines. The gradient shifts from yellow at the top of each letter to blue at the bottom. A faint reddish glow blooms behind the lightning bolt at the center. The black background extends unbroken behind the title, anchoring the bottom half of the poster. The lighting is harsh and theatrical, with a strong warm light raking the woman's face from the left and a greenish-yellow wash lighting the man's face from the front, both faces emerging from pitch black with hard-edged highlights and deep graphic shadows. The palette stays limited to acid yellow, ember orange, sickly green, electric blue, and black. Overall, the poster balances the two looming faces in tense symmetry, using a lurid yellow-green-and-black palette in a vintage pulp-illustration style with a mood of gothic dread and electrified menace.
